“That Part of my Life is not Open for Discussion” – Toke Makinwa Shoots Down Questions about her Marriage

Media personality Toke Makinwa had a quick chat with Hip TV about their upcoming 2015 Headies Awards but before that they tried to ask her a couple of questions about her marriage to fitness expert Maje Ayida.

The Rhythm FM OAP stated that she preferred to keep that part of her life private.

She said ‘You guys just wait and see and watch and see. I mean there’s nothing to say. That part of my life is not open for discussion’.

The couple were the main talk of the media a couple of months ago and for a while people have been wondering how Toke and Maje are doing.

Hopefully this means the couple is working things out amicably.

About Adesola Ade-Unuigbe

Adesola is a BellaNaija editor and Voltron. Yes, things are that serious for her when it comes to BellaNaija.com.

She's a lover of gist, novels, music and food. She's constantly trying not to take life for granted. She spends most of her time either keeping up with the world on the Internet or sharing some acquired knowledge about digital media.

I personally find it, IDK, hypocritical when celebs disturb everyone with their “private lives” and when things go wrong it’s all “Oh please, keep out of my private life.” You clamor for attention and you don’t allow us to rest with your so called private lives and then when we finally start to give you the attention you crave for, you complain and say “its not up for discussion?” Honey child, puhleeeaaaze!! You wanted the attention, you’ve got it. I’m all for privacy and respect during difficult times. But if you hadn’t put so much out on social media, no one would care and be invading your privacy. I know you’re a strong woman so I encourage you to do what strong women do: put your big girl panties on and deal with it. You signed up for it.

This is a woman that used go on social media to announce that her husband is home alone while she is parting. Now after we find out that he was actually with someone else not alone, she does not want to talk again. Looking like a fifty year old white woman on menopause.

YO, why are people so evil? Why are you all so keen on destroying this woman’s self esteem? Yall sitting behind the computer, testing her town – why? I’ve never been a fan but damn yo, people can be evil. (And I bet most of yall are man less, looking like cow poo, beating the girl while she’s down ?) Toke girl if you’re reading this, I gotcha back from today onwards. Keep doing your thing, you’re destined for greatness. DISMISS the haters

Yo girl I just spilled my coffee you is so mean with that 50 year old white woman on menopause, too spot on and hey no worries bout buying me another one. Her white complexion is less disturbing than the weird facial expression she makes trying keep that phony accent polished.

Errm i think that Maje chapter is closed o, cos i saw her and her crew (Gbemi O, Kunbi, Toju Foyeh-The maimi vacay ladies) at the Red restaurant, Eko Hotel on friday and my british colleague recognized her, said hello and asked for a picture. Well Gbemi told us categorically that Toke was single when she noticed my colleague was flirting with her. But Toke is WHITE in real life sha… wow… Too WHITE. That can’t be considered fair skinned again o.

Toke toke. If you were willing to share your life with everyone then why keep this a secret? You see you have been given a bitter pill to swallow. Moreover you have spoken openly about others, do you know how your words made them feel? Well all I can say is kharma is a female dog. Learn your lesson, not everything is for public consumption.

I don’t care for this lady neither do I care about her personal life. i have not been following her drama cause honestly i dont give a sh!t about her, she doesn’t sing or dance or act or play any sport,I dont know why she’s famous, she just talks alot about stuff she knows nothing about(while speaking in a fake ascent)and wears ugly drag queen makeup.

but for her husband to cheat on her, not only did he cheat on her with another woman but he got the woman pregnant, thats the highest of all insults. that means her husband didnt even care enough or respect her enough to use a comdom when he was cheating.

toke if u take this man back, u are a complete FOOL. and pls dont start crying when he cheats on u again, cause that’s probably going to happen again or when he gives u a disease.

The man did NOT cheat on her, he got his girlfriend pregnant. This same girlfriend he has had for years and Toke knew about before she insisted that he marry her. Toke was Maje’s side chick (as well as other men) for years and she knew exactly what the deal was. She knew they were expecting a child and even publicly called him “wings beneath her wings” just 4 days before the news broke. Cheating is when a spouse hides and has an affair without the other’ knowledge, not when the woman already knows what’s up and decides to settle.

Toke you are an internet generated celebrity. It is a life you chose in your search for relevance and thirst for attention. Nothing can be closed for discussion. Live by Instagram pics and Instagram hashtags, die by same. I hope your fellow club members will buy small sense in the process. #thepeoplemustshare

WOW tokish baby, this is really a surprise to me cos for someone who post her everyday activity on social media just to get attention then this would not be a big deal nah. Sweets you deliberately invited the media into your private life cos you were crazy about being a celebrity and I guess now you now see the down side of your decision. My dear pls deal with it and let us rest cos I am sure u knew they were going to ask you abt your marriage anyway and you granted BN the permission to mk a news out of it cos u are speedily fading away just the same way you spontaneously came into the spotlight. MTCHEWWWWW

Funny how you believe in your vacuous mind that the public is yours to manipulate at will and to suit all your whims and caprices!!

When you were the usual attention starved monster that you are,you had no issues opening your SHAM of a relationship to the public. KNOWING all along that the relationship was dead even before arrival.

That part of your life was open for discussion when Maje disgraced you for the umpteenth time by not showing at your plans to drag him to the marriage registry.

That part of your life was open for discussion when you started forming “who needs a man” even misleading so many gullible fools blindly,all because you wickedly concealed what you felt did not make you kook good to the public,all the while magnifying what you felt would garner you pity.

The nerve of you to have put up with ALL the crap you scream about on your equally senseless vlogs.

I will not expose you fully here,but your place in hell is still being stoked by fallen angels for alk the crap you have tried ,and gotten away with.

Bellanaija,are you going to post my comment? Or will you edit?

You Toke,allowed EVERYTHING no decent girl should ever put up with. Yet still forced yourself via emotional blackmail to make a man who has his heart locked elsewhere to marry you. After all,11yrs ke? How will you explain it?

Who released every negative article about yourself and Maje back when he was not feeling marriage.

A wa wi tan,she talk say she do surprise wedding! Girl yi o gbadun at all. And it pains my soul that you keep taking the public for fools.

How far back madam did you know of Majes baby issue with helen abi what is that one called? Who released the news to the public Toke?

During that period,you milked it for all you could,KNOWING that what was being spilled out there was not the entire truth.

You will get on your vlogs and spew trash about side chick this,know your place that. Toke,but iwo na gba okoloko now!! How many women did you give sleepless nights in your days? Which of your family friends fiancee did you snatch circa 2009? How many people did you slander wickedly Toke? How do you think Karma works? You think by hiding under the umbrella of MFM and “blessings” means you are clean and clear. Aburo,esan ni,o de ma ke! You getting endorsements or this or that,does not mean that karma will not find you.

Dont even let me say more

If you like come back a billion times and insult me,when you are in the four corners of your bedroom,you will remember that someone on the internet read you for what you truly are.

If your sister Ope,that looks like she hides hot faeces in her cheeks like,let her come and insult me.

Egbon e Ti o ye ki o ba e so oto oro,eggs you on because in reality,you are both rotten to the core.

You are a fake Toke,a fake packaged in cold hustle,and more often than not,this world belongs to,people like you. So no darling,aint nothing special about you!

And NO those of us that KNOW you,know your M.O and are not interested in your stale as 3days okra,eleven year disaster of a relationship!

Woah! Ah ah na you born for Maje? All this for one person abi na legion? It’s your type that people pray against , if you are in a room alone with her, anything can happen o. Anyway she should know by now to always watch her back. I still am not sure why she is surrounded by so much hate, what exactly has she done that we don’t see ladies doing every other day? Well sha madam your hatred is so intense that it will definitely be affecting you, free yourself.

@ Toke Toke Toke! Easyyyyyyy he/she.. Well u sound like a she.. Haba wet in the babe do U like this? ????????Shades, baked beans, tea even cold Kunu join.. U included Open her sister too hmmm u must know them very well but hun I’m not a fan of her, but it’s ignorant as a MF to judge anyone when U ain’t close to them..pls leave her ⛪ outta your shade ok! Salvation is personal na Bible talk am

You sound pathetic, if you could write with so much hatred about someone you probably do not know, then you need to be checked into a mental institution. The world will be so much better if people could evaluate their own lives the way they evaluate other peoples lives.

Please stop all this hatred I was so worried when I read your post. Did Toke date your husband or did any of her sisters destroy your home? If she didn’t do all that, ( even if she did, there is forgiveness that liberates both you and her) you don’t need to have all that black bile inside you that you are spewing out all over your comments which is really very frightening and very dark. Toke is doing her hustling to secure herself financially ( fake accent or not), why is that bothering you so much? Please try and pray for direction for your own life and God will guide you to find a successful venture. But please take care of your mind O! A dark and hateful mind is of no use to anybody. May God remove the anger and bitterness from your mind.

I couldn’t have said it better. Some of us that know the real Toke ( without double R ?) saw her Eleya coming miles away when she embarked on using social media to bully maje into marrying her by fire by force. Karma has no zip code.

He cheated, it hurts! We get it… So b a good/big girl n talk bout it… U better open d doors n windows n start pour’n ur heart out,while pple can still show sympaty. Ur an open book already,so u might as well tell us hw it ends.

People seem not to know this is Maje’s second child. She forgave him d last time he strayed and produced a child while dating,why shldnt she forgive him again. Toke will if she’s not already taken Maje back,it’s just coz what public will say that is holding her. Even Maje knows in d end Toke will still take him back, he’s been having a long term rltshp with both women and deyv both known abt eachoda. It was a matter of who will get d ring, which Toke eventually got. And I guess Anita got the son.

WOW! This is his second child! i am not concerned about the kids, what i am worried about is a grown ass married man sleeping with every girl in sight without protection!!! Toke, have you ever thought about the fact that he could have given you HIV and completely ruined your life? If you know what is good for you, move the HELL on!!! That burnt bald ugly broke guy is a DOG!

HIV doesn’t COMPLETELY ruin your life. There are a million people living with HIV that will find this your comment insensitive, and not all of them got it through promiscuous living. Some of them still live a more fulfilling life than uninfected persons. Try to be sensitive with your words next time. Thanks

kemi you really need to learn and read more on HIV/AIDS. There are a lot of people out there living with HIV and are well accomplished. We need to learn to show love with our words/actions to people living with HIV/AIDS as some of them are victims of sexual abuse which is very rampant. Thank you.

MadamToke fakeinwa …… fake Even with your marriage! u r too proud girl . All the so called mean comments here are real. dont understand ; despite all your fab dressing even brigther and better than the celebrant on several occasions. All your vlog lord expert advice on relationships. How did u wait on Maje for 12 solid years did u not find some 1 else? .Just saying .

Women. We are our own enemy. Wonder how dumb side chicks are. Do you actually believe he has his heart locked somewhere. Pure lies. Men cannot be forced. Hes with who he loves period. If he loves the calabar girl. He eould have married her. Uf not then.the baby is an opportunity for him to walk away from toke but he didnt. He wants his marriage. To work. Calabar babe you r a baby mama. Pray for your own hubby and move on. The baby is enough for him to marry you but he didnt. I can see your comments here and your friends and convoy of sidechicks comments. To bruno. Why shd she walk away from her hubby. You are veryvery naive. Anyway you are a juvenille self proclaimed homo so what would you know. Toke proud of you. Keep working on your marriage. And hold on to your hubby. He loves you. Calaba gurl.Your own hubby will locate you. Stop deceiving yourself. You are ayoung girl Close your legs to married men.

Aunty/Uncle, just so you know, one of the reasons why women have high bp today is because they stayed working on failed marriages. No one can “change” anyone. According to our. #teaspillers, this niccur has 2 babies out of wedlock. If he was capable of change do you think we’d be here commenting? It’s better to be single and have peace than be married and live in constant fear of side-chicks, baby-mamas, STDs, etc. And if he felt stifled in the marriage (this is me playing devil’s advocate), it’s better to be with a woman you love than forcing a loveless marriage. Trust me I’m a product of such a marriage and I wish to God my folks will just seperate already and let the neighbors, our pastors, family friends and we the kids rest!

I’m sorry Amh buh I’m sticking with Bruno on this. Work on what exactly? Their sex life? Marriage counselling? Make a baby to show she’s the one in charge? Listen marriage doesn’t cure promiscuity, a cheating man is a cheating man so sweety if you’re in the habit of taking back cheating bfs especially the ones that baby mamaed up on your ass RUN for your life AIDS and STDS is so Efffing REAL. Tokes honeymoon isn’t over yet and he goes and gets his had been gf pregnant, if he respects and loves her like you say why would he humiliate her like this. It goes to show that he thinks with his D…K and honey such men don’t change. He can sit on your lap, lick your face for a while but when he smells feaces he’ll run out of your compound. Anty Tee if you have the shock absorber to take any more of these atrocities then by all means stick with your dog sorry I mean MAN. Toke is an okay woman she surely can do better than this Maje. Dating someone for a gazillion years is not a guarantee or recipe for a good marriage.

Be there and be deceiving yourself! You think because he married her he loves her the most? Your naivety is ridiculous. And I find it funny when you say women put each other down. I laugh in Idoma. You think you can be ‘good’ at one thing and bad at the other Tribalistic bigot like you. Please have several seats!

BOO HOO! Let me tell you something WEAK men stay in marriages because of what they have to gain not because of love! I know plenty of men who would leave their wives in a split second if not because they married into wealth and affluence and they need the money to go round! These are things I have heard and seen with my own eyes. My cousin married an Ex-Governors daughter, and met the love of his life later, he is very unhappy but that’s just the sacrifice he has to make in order to keep the money coming in, to keep in the social circle of affluence and to not dissapoint his family and that of his in-laws! But let me tell you something let it be that he had no family to tell him what to do and his mistress becomes a Presidents daughter today? Him go leave him wife. So it is such a lie to say SOME Nigerian men stay with their wives because of love. They are just cowards, so dishonest. Smh

Your scent of choice which you should trademark and sell should be EAU DE CHINA (Fake,counterfeit,plastic) is ALL you stink of!

You sincerely believe that everybody who checks your ass publicly and calls you out for the foolishness you exhibit is a loser who is frothing at the mouth trying to be you?? Omo kekere l’on shey e then!!

I desire NOTHING about you! All you represent,i detest!

Infact,i feel nothing but pity for you!

Continue to fool yourself that you are the “chosen one” while crying yourself to sleep and asking yourself nightly “how the f* did my life turn out like this” Don’t worry,you are the one he truly loves and chose out of all the F.F,E.C,and co! At least he chose you now! Aunty consolation prize! You are like that toy at the store that finally shaaaaa,that unruly child picked at the end of a day,after running through and bashing every toy to the floor etc!! And everyone is telling the child indulgently “honey,you KNOW you REALLY have to pick one and get out of here” Why? Because they know if he does not pick one,once the silly child steps out,na wahala, A case of “eat it,nooooooo it’s too bony,okay then,drop it,ahhhhh it still has meat on it” What did you think Maje was going to do? O ma loju ti o! It pains me that Mrs A,could stand aside and watch you heap this mess on your head. And you and i know i am not talking about any damn A for Ayida!!! Alailojuti omo ti oun ko iranu ba awon ti o ni! Alainironu ara galatia!

Disgracing yourself up and down,all for man! And then pretending to be an expert in the same field she is handicapped in!

All I want to know is this: what is wrong with the accent of the woman speaking at the beginning? When she said ‘ex Calabar girlfriend’ (apparently she’s no longer from Calabar) I thought she said ‘Excalibur’

Why is everyone acting like they have a perfect relationship. Most of you typing and bashing toke makinwa have something deep down that is not making you happy…. yes her husband made a mistake and he already apologized. Yes she dated him for 11 years….. she was in love, we don’t know the bond they share. …. can we for christ sake just wish them well and move on with our lives. she doesn’t want to talk about it, probably she is still hurt, or she just want to keep her personal life private….

obirin lota obirin … most of you are side chicks, most of you don’t even have a boyfriend…. most of you are claiming independent strong woman….. but deep down you know if you were in he shoes you would forgive and let go …. lets remember what the bible says about divorce ….”For i hate divorce” says the lord God of isreal …. pls and pls lets just pray for them and wish them well…. kaluku lo ni bi ti bata tin ta ni ese

What’s with the “most of you are side-chicks”? Are you tryna say it’s only side chicks that think it’s foolish to stay with a cheating man??? Ps: independence can never be “claimed” – you are either independent or not. Welcome to the 21st century, where women no longer play with stds in the name of “forgiving and letting go”. I see women almost everyday with PID and infertility issues. Most of them got the infections from their dear hubbies and if after 15 yrs of marriage the couple is still childless (due to blocked tubes) it’s the same cheating husbands that’ll dump the #faithfulwife’s ass and marry a fertile woman.

Naija blogs know Toke Makinwa’s topic always brings traffic, I am personally indifferent bout her, my grudge is why majority of y’all hate her dis much. Haba, kilode? She is naija’s kardashian, (apparently famous for being famous), besides she works hard(TV,radio etc). My issues with her is making her private life so public as well as this much bleaching as she has done. Free the lady abeg, she has paid the price for fame already. Let her be biko…’nuffyn is new under this sun.’

Infidelity con, no one can stop the rain from falling. When did we start talking about people sex lives? The pathetic westernization of the idiotic African. Ladies and gentlemen, just want you to know, that sleeping around is not just a male thing,. Guys, if you had been under that illusion, you got it all wrong. Women are better in this sleeping around game. So let the party goes.on. who is fooling who. Like she has already said, it’s nobody’s business but her own. Let her deal with it in her own way, it’s non of our business.

See what bleaching is doing to this young girls face. Same with Freda Francis, looking like 40 year old women. As for her marriage, was that photo shoot a marriage? After you people will say you’re Africans. No trad, no church, no court.

I’m afraid I can’t spare my data to watch the video but here’s my two (unasked for) cents. Toke has a programme on HipTV called Trending so she’s more or a less an ‘in-house’ person to the HipTV family. I find it a bit silly for the interviewer to ask her that sort of private question. There’s professionalism and there’s tact.

Reading some essay comments on this blog makes me think like wow! People have too much time on their hands (including me, I am on vacation lol). The way people sit and analyse other people’s lives is pathetic. To each his own Biko! if you are hating/venting on her flaws (as some see other) you are giving her more publicity and if you are loving her you are equally doing the same and promoting her brand.
